The Asterisk Essentials Training video course is designed to rapidly guide a new user through the installation and basic configuration of Asterisk. Key telephony concepts are introduced, explained, and implemented. The course is heavily example-based, with a focus on the practical knowledge required to successfully administer an Asterisk system. Though some time is given to architecture and theory, we've only included the most helpful information. We've left out the non-essentials so that you can get up-to-speed with Asterisk as quickly as possible. Best practices are described throughout, and many examples are supported with Asterisk documentation.

The Asterisk Essentials Training course will teach you the most important things you need to know to install and administer an Asterisk system. It will also start you on the path of deeper Asterisk knowledge. The course includes several references to outside resources for additional information and further learning.
